Description
“I already told you, I own you.”
Emery Raine had one goal: move to a new town and forget her past. The traumas, the disappointments, the rumors. Everything. But when an attractive stranger shows up on Halloween night, everything changes. Now he claims to own her. He’s a vampire, and they’re bound by a promise she made in blood. All because of one bet—admittedly, that he could own her if she lost—but how was she supposed to know it was real?
It turns out, leaving the past behind isn’t so easy. Especially while dealing with a mental illness that tends to arrive whenever it likes, often leaving a trail of chaos and devastation in its wake.
When Emery finds herself unable to shake Dennis off or break the bind he’s created, she must accept her bind to the vampire she finds both painfully attractive and fully unhinged. It’s clear that a killer like him can’t be trusted. And yet, as time goes on, she’s not so sure…
Blood, Lust, & Happy Pills is book one in the Bloodlust duology.
